[Elecraft] Antenna comparisons, WSPRnet and timed serial port macros

[drewko]

Ray,

Tks again for the idea. I now have the batch files set up to switch
the K3's ANT every hour, half-hour or 15 mts while WSPR is running.;
no other software needed.

My only question is: what happens if the K3 receives a serial command
to switch ANT while it is transmitting? I assume the command will just
be ignored, but would like to know for sure...

73,
